LEXINGTON, Ky., March 6. - Marihuana, the weed from which "muggles" cigarettes are made, was somehow finding its way into the U. S. Public Health Service Hospital, the very place the government maintains to heal narcotic addicts.
It was annoying to say the least, but the mystery was solved when two hospital inmates were brought before a Federal court. They explained they "introduced" marihuana into the hospital.
How, they were asked.
By merely gathering the weed from the hospital reservation, they said.
The narcotic plant grew wild in the fields about the hospital and was free for the plucking, they claimed.
The defendants got a year and a day for the "introduction," their sentences to begin when they complete terms at the hospital for the same offense-selling muggles.
